Sulfur use efficiency is a significant determinant of drought stress tolerance in relation to photosynthetic activity in Brassica napus cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
To investigate the varietal difference in sulfur use efficiency (SUE) and drought stress tolerance, Brassica napus ‘Mosa’ and ‘Saturnin’ were exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress for 72 h. Direct quantification of S uptake, de novo

Are crop fields pharmacies for megaherbivores? From ecophysiological studies of elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) crop raiders in Gabon

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Forest elephants need to be conserved not only because they act as forest engineers. They also appear to be self‐medication specialists and could possibly help humans to cope with present and future health issues. Managers should include the development of medicinal leeches to mitigate HEC.

Tree aging does not affect the ranking for water use efficiency recorded from δ13C in three Populus deltoides × P. nigra genotypes

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
A large variability of water use efficiency (assessed from the carbon isotopic discrimination in leaves and leaf soluble sugars) has been detected among poplar genotypes.

Gaining insights into epigenetic memories through artificial intelligence and omics science in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 9, Page 2320-2349, September 2025.
This review explores how artificial intelligence and machine learning predict plant behavior in response to environmental stress by modeling molecular regulatory networks of plant stress responses. Their combined application with omics methods opens new avenues in understanding the functioning of plant memory and future plant memory‐based plant ...

Assessment of Pierce's disease susceptibility in Vitis vinifera cultivars with different pedigrees

Plant Pathology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1079-1087, August 2019., 2019
Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine is caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. In this study, an integrated approach was applied to assess PD susceptibility among different Vitis vinifera cultivars that incorporated disease severity, bacterial pathogen abundance and loss of stem xylem hydraulic conductivity.

Changes in 15NO3- Availability and Transpiration Rate Are Associated With a Rapid Diurnal Adjustment of Anion Contents as Well as 15N and Water Fluxes Between the Roots and Shoots

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Background and Aims: Understanding interactions between water and nitrate fluxes in response to nitrate availability and transpiration rate is crucial to select more efficient plants for the use of water and nitrate.Methods: Some of these interactions ...

A Comparative Study of Proteolytic Mechanisms during Leaf Senescence of Four Genotypes of Winter Oilseed Rape Highlighted Relevant Physiological and Molecular Traits for NRE Improvement

Plants, 2015
Winter oilseed rape is characterized by a low N use efficiency related to a weak leaf N remobilization efficiency (NRE) at vegetative stages. By investigating the natural genotypic variability of leaf NRE, our goal was to characterize the relevant ...

Testing the link between genome size and growth rate in maize [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Little is known about the factors driving within species Genome Size (GS) variation. GS may be shaped indirectly by natural selection on development and adaptative traits. Because GS variation is particularly pronounced in maize, we have sampled 83 maize

The Interactions of Carbohydrate-Based Biostimulants with Roots: From Perception to Response

Polysaccharides
In the current context of environmental sustainability and reduced agricultural inputs, biostimulants represent one of the most efficient, eco-friendly and innovative strategies to preserve plants from biotic and abiotic stresses and to ensure ...

Spore Density of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi is Fostered by Six Years of a No-Till System and is Correlated with Environmental Parameters in a Silty Loam Soil

Agronomy, 2017
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play major roles in nutrient acquisition by crops and are key actors of agroecosystems productivity. However, agricultural practices can have deleterious effects on plant–fungi symbiosis establishment in soils, thus ...
